A new wind power plant with a capacity of 20 megawatts is set to be constructed in the Bostanlyk district of the Tashkent region, marking a milestone in Uzbekistan’s push for renewable energy expansion.
According to the Tashkent regional khokimiyat (city administration), regional governor Zoir Mirzayev decided to allocate 10 hectares of land in the Burchmulla area for the project. The plant will be developed by the Ministry of Energy and financed entirely through grant funds, with an estimated cost of $28mn.
Once operational, the wind farm is expected to generate 129.6mn kilowatt-hours of electricity annually. This output will help save approximately 811,000 cubic meters of natural gas or 3,150 tons of coal each year, while significantly reducing harmful emissions.
Due to its favorable location in the mountainous Bostanlyk region, the project is expected to deliver strong performance with a high economic efficiency. Authorities view this as part of a broader effort to transition to cleaner, more sustainable energy sources.
Earlier, Uzbekistan announced plans to commission 12 solar and 4 wind power plants, along with 12 energy storage systems, by the end of 2025. With over $5bn in investment, these projects are expected to generate nearly 9bn kilowatt-hours of electricity annually, supporting the country’s transition to sustainable energy.
Uzbekistan has ramped up its renewable energy output in recent months. In May 2025, the country’s solar and wind facilities collectively generated 1.1bn kWh of electricity, accounting for 17% of total power production.
The wind power plant in Bostanlyk is part of a wider strategy led by President Shavkat Mirziyoyev to diversify Uzbekistan’s energy portfolio.
